Balloon Heart from Torch by Ginger Wade

You put me on a string
And pulled me all around
You tied me to your wrist
And showed me off so proud

I floated like a dream
Above your head I felt so free
I followed your every step
I was the star at your party

I got a balloon heart
I’m flying high when you’re around
Balloon heart
When you’re gone I hit the ground
Balloon heart -- balloon heart

Then came the sad day
Hung in the corner, losing my air
My heart began to sink
You forgot about me, you left me there

My balloon heart beats for you
You’ve moved on to the next birthday
I’m losing all my air
You think you can just throw me away

I got a balloon heart
I’m flying high when you’re around
Balloon heart
When you’re gone I hit the ground
Balloon heart -- balloon heart

And when you’re dead and gone
My plastic heart will linger on
‘Cause plastic never disappears
I’ll last another ten thousand years
